No trend as this was the first large sale of the Fall and a "Customer Appreciation Special". Trade was active with moderate demand for the moderate offerings. Bulk of the feeders coming off grass with several load lots of heavier feeders.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $455.11, low $354.02, median $370.76 across 5 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
